%description |
| 12 |
This is a program designed to speed up writing tapes on remote tape |
| 13 |
drives. After startup it splits itself into two processes. The first |
| 14 |
process reads (and reblocks) from stdin into a shared memory buffer. |
| 15 |
The second writes from the shared memory buffer to stdout. Doing it this way |
| 16 |
means that the writing side effectively sits in a tight write loop and |
| 17 |
doesn't have to wait for input. Similarly for the input side. It is |
| 18 |
this waiting that slows down other reblocking processes, like dd. |
